The “Journey of the God-Children” and the “Darkness on the Path of Enlightment” – a personal review of transpersonal Crisis-Catalysts in different traditions.
The term “The Godchildren” refers to a quote from Dr. Ingo Benjamin Jahrsetz. It defines people who have been placed in an early stage of life into deep transpersonal and sometimes traumatic experiences. If we follow the statement of the medieval mystic Master Eckhart “Suffering is known the fastest horse to God”; we can clearly build a metaphorical bridge to the Initiation-Crisis and Myths of the shamanic Traditions. Referring to my own biographical and therapeutic experience, from over 18 years of practice activities with people in crisis, I would like to discuss the odds on the path of self-realization, triggered by harrowing transpersonal experiences.
I refer inter alia to the experiences and background of an early near-death-experience and crisis of different types and massive transgenerational Traumas from second world war which finally brought me into the Mystic tradition and in the professional humanistic-transpersonal Field. As transpersonal therapist and supervisor who comes from a modern western culture, I went through the whole process of idealization, de-idealization and integration of ancient healing techniques. The shamanic Traditions and also Gestalttherapy and Theatre helped a lot to express the inexpressible. But during my own processes and the stories of many clients, I realized, that crisis where more often (unconsciously) induced than integrated. This also means emotional and sexual abuse as well as retraumatizations and physical death – which happened, for example – in a group in which I participated in, during a traditional two-week-Ayahuasca-Ceremony in the jungle.
Now it seems to me, that the most important issue in coping with transpersonal crisis as a resource, is preparation, ethics, professional guidance and (systemic cultural) integration. Especially the mindfulness-based meditation and the Holotropic Breathwork™ seem very suitable to guide people in their personal processes without psychedelic substance, or in preparation for psychedelic experiences.

Beyond the Brain - Ultimate Love and Holotropic States of Consciousness
Nothing is so fullpacked with hopes, emotions, ideals, visions and energy as a close relation. And it also brings up to Awareness all the other qualities, which we normally don´t want to have or maybe even don´t feel very much related too: fear, anger, pain, envy, guilt, shame, loss etc. So the Relation is always a risk and a big Chance at the same time. When we see the circumstances under which archetypal or biographical conditions and personal preferences people choose one another it really seems like an “miracle” that one finds another and stays with him for a long time – maybe for a lifetime. Especially the elemental Crisis which often occur sooner or later in close Relationships seem to be really good Catalysts for Breaking through into other States of Awareness and Mindfulness beside the classical western EGO-Structure.
My Thesis for this Presentation is, that “Love” is a – or is related to an – expanded State of Consciousness. For this we “modern Minds” generally need some sort of “Opener”. Often Clients experienced such kind of Opener in personal Crisis or Peak-States which where induced through some sort of spiritual Practice, like Meditation or Yoga, or through Sports and other Everyday-Practices like Walking in Nature. Studies show that close and intimate Relationships by Heart are also a very profound “Opener” for this Expanded Consciousness which can lead into a much bigger Understanding of “Love” that is not exclusive but including Life itself or in general. In our western Tradition we find this Experience quite clearly in the Love-Poems of the Middle-Age-Mystics.
In my presentation I want to investigate Methods and Techniques which are used in the psychotherapeutical Setting and which are suitable for inviting the so called “holotropic States of Consciousness” (Stanislav Grof). I further on want to give a Guideline for Safety and Setting.

Awarenessbased DeHypnosis & Inner-Team-Focusing® (ITF)
Awarenessbased DeHypnosis and Inner-Team-Focusing® (ITF) has been developed by Jörg Fuhrmann as a holistic approach that is based on contemplative mindfulness and selectively incorporates the wisdom of the body with the inner trance work. Certainly, the ITF is based on the idea to be more than just a method or a methods Fusion. Because, as we all know, the experience of genuine contacts in the “here and now” and the conscious recognition of oneself has the greatest healing potential. Therefore, the ITF considers itself more as an “Process-oriented awareness-philosophy” which goal is “De-hypnosis” – if it even has one.
One of the basic ideas of ITF is based on what Transpersonal Psychology has been called a “consensus trance”: Throughout society we are all continually arrested in trances without an glimpse of awareness about this fact. Because for us “modern unconscious Caveman” these collective trances are rated as “normal Consciousness”.
These “Trances” were, induced by our parents, family, friends, educators, pedagogues, teachers, pastors, and of course, through the media. The only problem with this is, that our modern cultures provide no periods of conscious Recovery and collective DeHypnosis – like the Greeks still had. These continual focalizations and dissociations – both are essential for a successful hypnosis – are the true Creators of our different internal parts of the personality ( “ego states”). So we work in the ITF Training with induced trances, the personality facets, the repressed shadow shares – in the sense of C.G. Jung – and sometimes with unhealthy ego fixations which have emerged often from a believed, or as real experienced deficit. This work opens up a whole new framework and space, which gives Hypnosis back the Body and the deeper inner Awareness. Complicated doublebind-situations and ambiguous orders often get solved in a very elegant and gentle manner.

Alltagstrance und Selbstsabotage erkennen – DeHypnose & Selbsthypnose
Auf der infomed-Therapeutenfortbildung in München bietet Jörg Fuhrmann einen Workshop in Alltagstrance, Dehypnose & Inner Team Focusing® an:
Milton H. Ericksons Studien kamen zu dem Ergebnis, dass wir uns täglich permanent selbst durch den Alltag “hypnotisieren” und ins Alltagstrance begeben, ohne dass wir dafür ein “Gewahrsein” besitzen, dass dem so ist. Wir halten diese Zustände eben für “normal” und geben damit leider auch ein großes Stück Selbstverantwortung und auch Möglichkeiten zur Selbsterkenntnis aus der Hand. Das Wissen um diese diffizilen Prozesse ist weitaus älter, denn es reicht zurück an den Anbeginn der Zeit. Mir haben selbst viele Schamanen, unterschiedlicher Erdteile, bestätigt, dass die Trance-Induktion und “Hypnose” mit ihr wichtigstes Arbeitswerkzeug sei. Frei nach Bateson: “Wir können nicht Nicht-Hypnotisieren und nicht Nicht-Hypnotisiertwerden.” Aber – und das ist die gute Botschaft dabei: wir können uns auch wieder DeHypnotisieren! Freilich fordern und fördern Gesellschaft, Wirtschaft, Wissenschaft, Medien und andere Glaubenssysteme gewisse (kollektive) Formen von Selbsthypnose und Trance-Induktion. Prof. Charles Tart prägte dafür einstmals – im Rahmen der Transpersonalen Psychologie – den Begriff der “Konsensus-Trance”.
Im Kurs am ZIST geht es v.a. um zwei Bereiche:
1.) DeHypnose: Sei nehmen hypnotisch-suggestiv verankerte Manipulationen und Glaubenssätze achtsamer wahr und können diese besser einordnen.
2.) Inner-Team-Focusing® (ITF) & Selbsthypnose: Sie verstehen die damit zusammenhängende Dynamik besser und initiieren Prozesse der Selbst-Transformation.

Trauma-emPower – alte & neue Wege ganzheitlicher Trauma-Verarbeitung (Jörg Fuhrmann)
In traditionellen Kulturen finden wir bereits sehr viel von dem vor, was die moderne Traumatherapie heutzutage wiederzuentdecken und eben auch wissenschaftlich zu erforschen, bzw. zu bestätigen, beginnt. Dazu gehören, neben unterschiedlichen Körperzugängen und einem enormen Gewahrsein v.a. auch systemische Bindungsaspekte, ein holistisches und spirituelles Eingebundensein in die Umwelt sowie gemeinsame, rituelle Praktiken um sich dies immer wieder auch leibhaftig-ganzheitlich bewusst zu machen.

PEAK-FLOW – Potential, Empowerment, Awareness & Knowledge: Gehe an Deine Grenze, erhöhe Deine Resilienz & meistere Blockaden
“Peak-Performance” ist ein aus dem Sport und Mentaltraining bekannter Begriff für Spitzenleistung. Auch Abraham Maslow, der Mitbegründer der humanistischen und der transpersonalen Psychologie, nutzte die Bezeichnung “Peak-Experiences” im Zusammenhang mit spirituellen/ mystischen Gipfelerfahrungen. PEAK-Flow meint daher, im Sinne der FLOW-/ Glücksforschung Csíkszentmihályi´s, dass kontinuierliche Hinströmen zu den damit verbundenen, eigenen Potenzialen, jenseits der bisher genutzten Möglichkeiten für erfüllende Selbstverwirklichung.
Vielleicht hast Du bereits eine oder mehrere Methoden kennen gelernt, bzw. bist in ihnen ausgebildet worden, hast dabei aber immer noch das Gefühl, dass Dir etwas fehlt um Dein volles persönliches oder berufliches Potenzial auf den Weg zu bringen? Dann können Dir die PEAK-Flow-Workshops bei Jörg Fuhrmann möglicherweise eine gute Unterstützung bieten, mehr über Dich und Deine innere Struktur zu verstehen, Deine bisherigen Grenzen auszudehnen und Deinen eigenen privaten sowie beruflichen Weg zielführender und erfolgreicher zu beschreiten.
In 2020 wird es dazu am IAK zwei Möglichkeiten in einem prozessorientierten Praxisformat geben, welches Atem, Körper, Geist und Energiefeld gleichermaßen nutzt, um Tiefenschichten anzusprechen und Wachstumsprozesse zu initiieren. In dem Format kommen bspw. Methoden/ Impulse zum Tragen, welche u.a. von Prof. Stanislav Grof, Dr. Fritz Perls, Dr. Wilhelm Reich, Dr. Sonia Gomes, Dr. Peter A. Levine, Dr. Eugene T. Gendlin oder dem mehrfachen Guinnessbuch- und Weltrekordhalter Wim Hof sowie traditionellen Schamanen – wie bspw. Mohan L. Rai – genutzt und weiterentwickelt worden sind.
In beiden kreativen Modulen, die v.a. auch einer “weiblichen Intelligenz” (die uns allen zur Verfügung steht) folgt, arbeiten wir selbsterforschend “Bottom-Up” und “Top-Down” mit Achtsamkeit, Atemtechniken (Holotropes Atmen/ Pranayama), Embodiment und Gestalt-Körperarbeit. Im November-Workshop nutzen wir außerdem die “Kraft der Kälte” und “Kälte-Exposition” als kontemplative Grenzerfahrungsmöglichkeit.
Die beiden Module bauen nicht aufeinander auf und können unabhängig voneinander gebucht werden. Es sind keine Voraussetzungen – außer einer körperlichen und psychischen Grundstabilität sowie dem Wunsch nach eigener Entwicklung und der Entscheidung sich selbst aktiv und gestaltend einzubringen/ zu zeigen notwendig.
